Arctera™ Insight eDiscovery Help

About Investigations

From the Insight eDiscovery Investigations tab, administrators or reviewers can conduct initial, probative, or ad hoc investigations on the archives of the accounts that they have the privileges to monitor. For example, you can assess compliance to corporate content or regulatory policies before deciding whether there is a requirement to create a tracked eDiscovery case.

Typically, an investigation is an internal search. For example, you can assess compliance to corporate content policies, or respond to a request to find private information on a user. You can search for data in the items of multiple user accounts all in one place.

You can search the archives of the accounts that you manage from the Managed Accounts node. From here you can access, review, and work with the archived items of interest as in the eDiscovery tab. The difference is that in the Investigations tab the search and the work that you do with the items is not tracked as part of a case. Also in investigations the review status tags are not available.

In investigations, permission to view the items of others is solely dependent on the roles and permissions of your account as configured in Archive Administration. The constraints that are enforced within a case and a Review Set are not present.
